We may also disclose your information to contracted companies who act as "data processors" on our behalf, or with your agreement to ancillary service providers such as hotel, car hire and credit card providers.

We follow strict security procedures in the storage and disclosure of passenger information. Our security procedures require that we request proof of identity before we disclose sensitive information regarding your flight reservation.
